Chapter 694: The History of the Rise and Fall of the First Qi Zong in the Upper Realm (5)
These dead souls, no matter what their status was in life, as long as they have not reached a point where they can influence reincarnation, they will definitely worry about what will happen to them in the afterlife?
The emergence of Buddhism and the solution it provided greatly alleviated the worries of this group of people, and these people became the most loyal supporters of Buddhism.
And this group of people, the so-called earth demons in the description of the calamity, seek to establish independence and the reincarnation of rewarding good and punishing evil, and all of this is destined to shake the Taoist sect's dominance.
After all, when many Taoist sects recruit disciples, or when they ask them to die, they make a promise that even if you die, as long as your soul is immortal, how about letting you live in the next life?
When corruption becomes an honest benefit, or a privilege, when Buddhist suggestions appear at this time, it is shaking the foundation of Taoism.
Judging from the effect, one blow hit the weak spot, not only within the control range of Dao Sect, but also in the South China Sea controlled by the Hai Clan, which also caused constant chaos.
In essence, this is a battle against privileges. Whether it is Taoism or the demon clan, the inequality between the upper and lower classes is far more serious than that of Buddhism, and this is the breakthrough point of Buddhism.
All living beings are equal; princes, generals, and ministers would rather have their own kind. There were many similar sentences in that period, and the old system and pattern were facing great impact.
Among the upper realms, the only places that can be considered safe are the North Land and the Beihai Land under the control of the Yiqi Sect. There are few people and few disputes.
As far as the Yiqi Sect is concerned, an important thing happened during that period. It may not be very noticeable at first. It just caused a huge turmoil within the Yiqi Sect. However, this change will one day sweep the entire world.
Upper bound.
As mentioned before, within the Yiqi Sect, they have to face increasing pressure from extraterrestrial demons. Outside, the actions to expand the land, obtain resources and recruit disciples are not progressing particularly smoothly.
If you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will be successful, and if you are popular, you will be long-lasting. The words of the Tao Sutra are still shining with their dazzling brilliance after tens of millions of kalpas in the past.
Faced with a difficult situation, Yuan Jizi, who was the head of Yiqi Sect at the time, created a technique to address the problem of insufficient resources.
Yes, you guessed it right, it is the "Yi Qi Shang Yuan Tong Xuan Gong", which is known as the supreme scripture of Yi Qi Sect. Of course, this name is a later name. At first, the name of this scripture was "Chaos"
"Yi Qi Jing".
This Qi refers to the Qi of Taixu that can reverse all spirits. Needless to say, chaos refers to the Qi of Chaos. This is the aura after the Qi of Taixu has been reversed to the extreme.
This Tao method is a general existence. No matter what method it is, whether it is Qi Tao, Strength Tao or Dharma Tao, it can be harmoniously integrated with it.
The emergence of this technique was of epoch-making significance, and the Yiqi Sect even changed its name because of it.
Yes, Yi Qi Sect was not called Yi Qi Sect at first, but had other names. Because of this method, Yi Qi Sect was renamed Chaos Yi Qi Sect. There were also names given by many other sects such as Chaos Sect, Taixu Sect, etc. Yi Qi Sect was
It was the name that was finally settled, and there were many twists and turns.
The Kung Fu is a good Kung Fu, but in the eyes of the orthodox Taoists, it is more like the method of the Demonic Tao. The Qi of Taixu sounds awe-inspiring and righteous.
However, it can not only refine many counter-rebellious spiritual objects, but can even directly refine monks' physical essence and blood. Of course, in terms of conversion rate, it is still not as good as some magic methods, but it is not much different.
Although it looks gentle and elegant, the bloody murderous intention revealed by the technique cannot be blocked at any cost. For a period of time, the Yiqi Sect was even privately called the Chaos Demon Sect.
Although the Yiqi Sect has problems like this and that, it is still a member of the Taoist sect no matter what. Under the fierce offensive of Buddhism, the most important thing is to unite internally and resist external enemies. The difference between primary and secondary contradictions is also there.
In this way, the vast land south of the Northland opened its arms to the Yiqi Sect. From being rejected thousands of miles away in the past, to wanting the Yiqi Buddhism to come over and lend a helping hand, it was a huge difference.
The Yiqi Sect was the least damaged in the Earth Demon Rebellion that Buddhism instigated, because the northern land was remote and the difference between upper and lower levels was far less significant than in other realms.
In other realms, the upper-level monks look down on the lower-level monks and do not regard each other as human beings at all. If there is a war, they will use them as cannon fodder to consume the enemy's mana. However, for the continuation of the sect, the upper-level monks will really protect the Yiqi Sect.
Wait for the monks and pay with your life.
Buddhist ideas cannot be spread here, because the north is like this. The privileges are not obvious. It is a change. How can it be changed?
The disciples of the Yiqi Sect who have been fighting against the demons from outside the territory all year round, when facing the earth demons caused by Buddhism, directly used the Qi of Taixu to forcibly refine it. While defeating the enemy, they also improved their strength.
The extremely powerful Buddhism was defeated in an army in front of the red-eyed Yiqi Sect disciples.
Other sects have to pay rewards for asking Yi Qi Zong to take action. Defeating the earth demon can increase their strength. During the calamity of the earth demon, the Yi Qi clan family became the giant pillar supporting the sky.
Relying on the countless benefits obtained in this calamity, the Yiqi Sect's strength has grown by leaps and bounds, the sect's fortune has been like a rainbow, Taiyi Immortals have emerged in endlessly, and they are catching up with the largest sect, the Holy Spirit Sect.
This period was the most powerful period for Yiqi Sect. No other period could catch up with it even today.
Everyone in the world says that the Yiqi Sect is about to replace the Holy Spirit Sect, and will devour all living things in the world and commit acts of destruction. It is said to be rumors, but when the disciples of the Yiqi Sect devour living people and refine their souls, it is known to everyone and hidden.
Don't go there.
At this time, it is meaningless to care about where the rumors originated. When the external conflicts were temporarily removed, the internal conflicts became intense again, and the former hero became a street rat that everyone shouted to beat.
When the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; when the cunning rabbits are dead, the lackeys are cooked. Cross the river and demolish the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey. This is the situation faced by the Yiqi Sect at that time.
Of course, this is just the reason behind it. The apparent trigger is that some Yiqi Sect elders acted too eagerly and openly challenged the status of the Holy Spirit Sect and other major sects. Perhaps they were too poor before, but after seeing the Cave Heaven Paradise,
If you have strong self-control, you will want to occupy it, which will cause a lot of trouble.
The fuse triggered everyone's inner uneasiness, and then the door exploded.
At that time, the Yiqi Sect had to deal with the extraterrestrial demons coming from the North Sea Abyss. This was the destined task of the sect. Fortunately, it could use the luck artifact to persevere.
In addition, we also need to deal with the encirclement and suppression by the factions in the upper realm. Not only did the newly occupied lands fall, but even the original base - the vast Northland - also fell.
It really doesn’t take long to go from the top to the bottom all at once.
